	County Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, This year's notable event is being presented by the
	Central Fort Bend Chamber Alliance, the Fort Bend Chamber of
	Commerce, the Fulshear Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater
	Fort Bend Economic Development Council; and
	WHEREAS, Centered around the cities of Richmond, Rosenberg,
	and Fulshear, the Central Fort Bend Chamber Alliance works to
	develop programs that bring about economic growth and employment

	provides them with a united voice while working with other
	organizations and local government; and
	WHEREAS, The Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce is the largest
	single-county chamber in the Houston area, and its 1,200 member
	companies and organizations work together to advocate for business
	excellence while promoting tourism and the well-being of the
	community; the group is one of only one percent of the chambers of
	commerce in the United States to receive a five-star accreditation
	from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and
	WHEREAS, The rapidly growing population of Fulshear is
	represented by the Fulshear Area Chamber of Commerce, which works

	environment by contributing to the community and building
	connections among its members; and
	WHEREAS, The Greater Fort Bend Economic Development Council,
	which was established in 1986, is a public-private partnership
	dedicated to promoting commercial development and economic
	vitality; it provides a wealth of information about the advantages
	of Fort Bend County to businesses seeking to relocate or expand
	operations there; and
	WHEREAS, The vision and leadership provided by these four
	organizations have a positive and energizing influence on this
	fast-growing region of the Lone Star State, and their members can
	take justifiable pride in their achievements; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 25, 2015, as Fort Bend County
	Day at the State Capitol and commend the members of the Central Fort
	Bend Chamber Alliance, the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce, the
	Fulshear Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Fort Bend
	Economic Development Council for their support of their
	communities.
